School Library Policies and Procedures
This wiki has been created by Kate Flynn, Kelley Fujii, Jennifer Kelley, Kate Kennedy, and Lisa LeCompte. Together, we represent Dorchester, Carroll, Frederick and Montgomery counties in Maryland. We have evaluated each county's library handbook for the policies and procedures used to describe the functions of a library program. We used the knowledge gained from these policies and procedures in order to create the following guidelines for a school librarian to follow. Each policy or procedure will link to its description.
